Occupy Wall Street Planning ‘Millionaire’s March’ To Murdoch, Koch Homes

Rupert Murdoch

Occupy Wall Street protesters are planning a march to the New York City homes of millionaires like News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch and conservative billionaire and tea party backer David Koch.

Protesters, currently camping out in Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan, will take the subway to 59th street and 5th avenue, and march to the homes of the fat cat-iest of fat cats in New York City, including Murdoch, Koch, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, real estate developer Howard Milstein and hedge fund manager John Paulson.

The march is scheduled to begin around 12:30PM on Tuesday, and is being organized by groups like the Working Families Party and New York Communities for Change.

“[T]he tour will visit homes of some of the most well-known millionaires in New York City,” the organizers said in a release, “specially chosen for their willingness to hoard wealth at the expense of the 99%.”

“Ninety-nine percent of the residents of New York are going to suffer from this tax giveaway so the 1% who already live in absolute luxury can put more money in their pockets,” said Doug Forand, who is among the march’s organizers.
